And this fact, which one can observe by the way of imagination, if one simply sees how things are remembered, leads us to something else. It leads us to the realization that the head of man is altogether a much slower fellow than the rest of man. When we talk about the threefoldness of man, and keep at first the rhythmic organization in the middle, on one side his nerve-sense organization, that is the organization of the head,—on the other side the metabolic-limb organism, then we can say: the head-organism in its whole development, in all its being and becoming takes up a much slower pace than the metabolic-limb organism. And it is so, that while this inner consolidating (diagram), this shape-giving, would take a second for any impression (it is not so, but I say it as an example) there would have been already four impacts of dissolving from the side of the kidney-system. This can be seen in the fact that our pulse beats four times, while we inhale once. The respiratory system works upward From the rhythmical system towards the head and imparts to it the four times slower beat. That which comes to expression through the four times faster beat of the blood circulation which brings about the dissolving factor. What expresses itself in the four times slower pace of the head has in its working all that which tends to solidify, which makes man into a statue.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture I","site_heading":"Spiritual Rhythms in Human Organism and Perception","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Wenn wir von einer Dreigliederung des Menschen gesprochen haben und zunächst den rhythmischen Organismus in der Mitte halten, auf der einen Seite den Nerven-Sinnesorganismus, also den Hauptesorganismus haben, auf der anderen Seite den Gliedmaßen-Stoffwechselorganismus, so können wir sagen: der Hauptesorganismus, der schlägt eigentlich mit seiner ganzen Entwickelung, mit seinem ganzen Sein und Werden ein viel langsameres \"Tempo ein als der Stoffwechsel-Gliedmaßenorganismus. Und es ist so, daß während dieses Innen-Zusammenballen (links), dieses Gestalten - es ist ja nicht so, aber ich will es beispielsweise sagen — für irgendeinen Eindruck, sagen wir, eine Sekunde brauchte, so gab es von seiten des Nierensystems aus schon vier Stöße des Auslöschens.
